    Largest enclosure build to date.

    So now that we are moved into our new home and I'm recovering from surgery to repair 2 hernia I have started to design a new enclosure for our green iguana that my wife picked up in November. This will be my largest build. I'm planning to use 2x3 construction with pvc sheets lining the inside. Still working on details but I have drawn out some plans and made up a cut list. It will be 3 feet deep by 4 feet wide and 80 inches tall. Have to decide on the lighting and heating. Will be adding a bath of some kind and maybe a fogger.

    Here's a link to the PDF file of my handwritten design.

    Got the frame up. Spent a bit of time making sure my cuts were spot on and it went together in about an hour. 80" tall by 4' wide and 3' deep. That's the most space I could make in the living room.

    Not a ton of progress but got the ceiling and floor in. Picked up the PVC sheets for the walls. Need to finalize some plans and figure out misting, heating and wiring. Planning to run conduit so it's all contained with just one plug sticking out

    Re: Largest enclosure build to date.

    Got some more work done today with some help from the wife. Her first time using the nail gun. Got the inside walls up and then finished around the doorway and windows. Need to caulk it tomorrow then plan the doors and start laying out for ramps and ledges. Still waiting on the mega ray bulb to arrive so ledges are on hold till I get measurements once it's installed. Got the fogger from house of hydro to play with also.

    Re: Largest enclosure build to date.

    Got the insulation board in on 2 sides. Need to move some furniture to do the back and other side but those should go quickly. Next up is the outer covering and vent installation.
